Phillips & Jordan will spread its forces throughout the city in defined zones to distribute collection efforts evenly. Collection will take place seven days a week, from sunup to sundown.

It will take about three weeks for workers to make the first pass. If all debris is not picked up during the initial pass, residents should move remaining debris to the right-of-way for the second pass.

Burlington asks residents:

■ To place disaster-generated debris on the public right-of-way before Wednesday. Only debris on the public right-of-way — the area of residential property between the street and the sidewalk, ditch, utility pole or easement — will be collected.
